    <p>Unpublished sites are only available to Instructors and site owners. Other site participants, such as Students and Teaching Assistants, cannot access unpublished sites.</p>
<p>By default, most sites are Unpublished when they are first created. This gives instructors or course designers a chance to configure the site and edit the content before it is available to students and other participants. Some institutions publish all current courses automatically at the beginning of the academic term. Institutions may also unpublish courses sites from prior or future terms.</p>
<p>See <a href="content.hlp?docId=howdoicontrolsiteaccess">How do I control site access?</a> for information about changing a site's availability.</p>
